Lots of new gadgets now have Bluetooth wireless radio technology for communicating between, say, a handheld and a printer. But until now, older devices have been left out. An effort is under way to bring Bluetooth to millions of older devices. Microtune, which makes radio-based systems, has introduced its CableFree Bluetooth USB products.

The Microtune CableFree USB MT0760-CF (see the photo) works with Canon, Epson, HP, and Lexmark printers. Third-party manufacturers are expected to offer such Bluetooth kits with wireless printing capability for less than $79. (One can print from 30 feet away and the other from 100 feet.)
